Going to try to make sure to PM everyone who asked for one and answer all PMs tonight. Find out Monday if I'm going to stick with these late-payers at all, but I'm really motivated to get better stuff going.
 
OK sorry. I just wasn't going to say because I wasn't trying to make sales here (Honestly, I'm not that good), and I wanted to be a little discrete as far as saying anything bad publicly about the company I'm having issues with.

I do ongoing management of social media accounts. Daily facebook posting and interaction. Twitter posting, commenting, RTing. Adding followers and communicating with existing base, etc. Also do some Pinterest, Google Plus, Linked In, but only as add-ons to Facebook/Twitter clients. I basically just take over all the accounts and run them. Clients run the gamut from small online stores, to dry cleaners, lawyers, doctors, restaurants, pest control, some industrial equipment suppliers, and so on. Most of the clients I've worked with are small business basic accounts, but also some Medium Brands you may recognize.

So for anyone still wondering, I guess that will give you an idea and you can now conclude "That's it? Lame" or "That's Useful" or something in-between.
 
No one really responded. So I guess maybe there's not much market here. I do know there is a market somewhere offline, since I know how much people are paying and what they are able to charge, and that they make sales. Just not for me. Oh Well.

I appreciate all the advice, though. It is helpful in general and for how to attack this issue.

I'm thinking about buying a sales post here but don't want to spend that money and have 0 sales.
 
OP - did you ever figure anything out with this? I've been working with someone that does something similar, I might have some ideas for you.
 
For someone who believes they suck at sales (the OP), I think he did a great job with his sales pitch in his SBT thread. Good luck bro.
 
Thanks guys. I thought this thread was dead- so I hadn't seen the last few replies. I paid for a sales thread, and I've been working hard answering PMs and getting work started.

I don't use skype, but I was told by an esteemed member that "not having skype when dealing with WF is not a good answer." So, fair enough. I will get that setup and then I will respond to anyone who insisted on skype.
 
What's the saying? Something like "The Best Revenge is Living Well"? I'm not too worried about revenge right now. The energy spent on that would be a big waste, when I have much more productive things to do.

After being screwed over most of us approach the situation with a more reasoned mind after some rest. I know it wasn't a serious consideration of yours and you're quite right that living well is the best revenge, although only if they hear of your success - so good luck to you!
